Investigation of the radiation strength of an optical cable irradiated by 8 MeV electrons

An analysis is made of the influence of the electron flux on the attenuation of a quartz-quartz optical fiber having a core diameter of 40 microns and a cladding diameter of 130 microns. The initial attenuation of the fiber at the 0.82-micron wavelength was 20 dB/km. Pulsed radiation from an electro...

Description
Summary:An analysis is made of the influence of the electron flux on the attenuation of a quartz-quartz optical fiber having a core diameter of 40 microns and a cladding diameter of 130 microns. The initial attenuation of the fiber at the 0.82-micron wavelength was 20 dB/km. Pulsed radiation from an electron beam having a flux density of (4.5-29)x10 to the 9th electrons per sq cm per sec was used. It was established that any change in the electron flux density negligibly influenced the behavior of the induced absorption curve.
